Today’s MRO All-Pro Team 2007
Join us in
recognizing those dedicated workers you have nominated as the
maintenance industry’s best of the best
Each year MRO Today
magazine takes great pride in recognizing those individuals who make
the true difference, not just between up- and downtime in our
plants, but in embodying the spirit and culture of the best of
American manufacturing ingenuity.
To call maintenance
technicians and mechanics an unsung lot is an immense
understatement. They have few awards, sparse on-the-job recognition,
often work long, odd hours and are charged with being doctor, nurse
and medicine itself for ailing equipment that sometimes exhibits
symptoms no one has seen before. They must often be equal parts
engineer, artist and detective.
They are always on the
clock and running against it; their deadlines often exist only in
the past tense: “We need this three hours ago.” When a critical
piece of equipment goes down, time can be counted in the thousands,
or tens of thousands of dollars of lost production per minute.
The envelope, please...
We like to think that in our
own way, with the MRO All-Pro Team Awards, we here at MRO Today are
contributing to this movement. So let’s cut to the chase. From the
